Abigail Ambulance Ride Pics

This is Abigail Saturday night at the hospital. Here we wait and see to try and figure out why she is in respiratory distress. No one could figure out why so the decision was made to admit her. The hospital we went to no longer has a peds admit wing so we needed to take the ambulance to their partner hospital in South Bend. Abigail had the nicest ambulance driver. He took really good care of her and kept her airways open the whole trip. She got a kick out of the thought of riding in it. She was also very clear that the cars had to get out of the way because that's the rules. She was released on Tuesday morning (just in time for me to check into the other hospital for my surgery) with a diagnosis of allergies. The allergies hit her so hard it puts her into respiratory distress. her butt is too little and dehydrates so easily. This is the last thing she needed. This is how we now spend every 6 hours for a while. This and all the meds. She is on 2 steroids, 2 allergy meds and 1 inhalator. I guess she needs a little extra TLC right now.
